A quick Python tool to rename files in a folder to be prefixed with a hash of the file's contents.
pip install hash_rename
hash_rename --help
hash_rename '<path_to_file>'
# or, if you have issues with PATH:
python3 -m hash_rename '<path_to_file>'Say you have a folder with the following files:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
Running the tool renames the files to:
90be47_file1.txt
dbd06c_file2.txt
a7b5b7_file3.txt
